BMG to punt cheap, no-frills CDs
Jul. 6th, 2004 11:46 amFrom next month record company BMG will introduce cut-price and luxury versions of the same CDs in Germany in an attempt to boost record sales, CEO Maarten Steinkamp told Der Spiegel.
The no-frills version, which Kleinkamp calls "an anti-piracy CD", will look identical to a home-burn CD, with just the title on the disc. Consumers only have to pay €9.99 for a copy, about half the price of a regular CD, which typically retails for €19.99 or more.
... but this still won't be offering value; 6 quid for a CD that has been deliberately made as shit as possible?
It should be 6 quid for the NORMAL CD. Or the normal CD should stay at the same price, but give more value!
Fucking numpties.

There's an offer you don't get every day
